LinkedIn is stricter than most platforms
LinkedIn's terms prohibit scraping and automated collection, and it enforces them actively, particularly against anything touching member profiles behind a login. Courts have considered the legality of scraping public data in different ways, and the answer depends on jurisdiction and facts, so this is a topic for legal advice rather than a proxy settings page. The conservative route is the narrowest one: public company pages and public job postings, at a low request rate, with no login.
Realistic uses of a proxy here
- Viewing how public job postings appear in different countries for hiring-market analysis.
- Checking that a company page or job ad is visible in a target region.
- Light, periodic monitoring of public pages about your own brand.
- Industry research from public, non-personal information.
Do not collect personal data about individuals without a lawful basis. Privacy rules such as GDPR can apply to profile data even when it is public.
Session and targeting tips
Public job pages vary by location, so one country per pass helps comparisons. Use a sticky session when a check needs a few consecutive page loads from the same place, and a rotating one for isolated page views. Pace requests slowly and back off at the first challenge page instead of retrying harder. A residential IP does not change LinkedIn's rules; it only controls the location your public page view comes from.
Staying within LinkedIn's rules
Use Nefo only for publicly available information and within LinkedIn's User Agreement and applicable law. Do not log in with automated tools, create fake accounts, harvest member profiles or evade bans. Our acceptable use policy applies, and market intelligence describes appropriate workflows.
How to set up the proxies
Buy a package from 5 GB ($4.50, bandwidth never expires), open the proxy generator and copy the host, port, username and password into your tool. The gateway is gw.nefo.net:9000, and targeting lives in the username: -country-de for Germany, -session-li1 to hold one IP. Integration examples are in the docs, and prices are on the pricing page.

Rotating for isolated public page views, sticky for a short multi-page check from one place. Keep rates low either way.
